A new co-op Soulslike game, titled Slime Heroes, is scheduled to land on Xbox Series X/S and PC on February 13, 2025, with other ports to follow. As a result, the action RPG will be an Xbox console exclusive title for a limited time.
Soulslike games, which are known for their high difficulty and environmental storytelling, have assembled a large fan-base in the past decade, thanks to monumental entries like Bloodborne and Elden Ring. Interestingly, other developers have also tried their hand at the subgenre with considerable success so far, with an example being Lies of P by Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio. In the very near future, Slime Heroes by Pancake Games is set to be the latest Soulslike game, while offering a very different yet amusing take on the genre with an added co-op flavor.

Slime Heroes is a forthcoming Soulslike action RPG for Xbox and PC players, arriving as soon as February 13 on PC and Xbox. It follows the story of a slime on a mission to save a land targeted by corruption after the fall of its guardians. The player can venture into obstacle-filled dungeons and areas sprawling with corrupted foes, either solo or in co-op mode. Among the game’s highlights is the ability to inherit an enemy’s special power after defeating it. The player also has the option to combine these powers and create a custom skillset. Alternatively, they can deploy the various weapons available in the game to engage in boss battles.
Slime Heroes to Launch on More Platforms Later
After its initial launch in February, Slime Heroes will eventually land on Nintendo and PlayStation in the future. While the action game’s Switch version was confirmed back in November 2024, its PS5 and PS4 ports were recently announced along with a new gameplay trailer. On one hand, the Switch port is planned for “Q1 2025,” whereas the PlayStation launch doesn’t have a release window yet.
Similar to Slime Heroes, there are some other titles in the Soulslike genre that offer a lighthearted experience as opposed to the usual dark tone of the genre. One such game is Another Crab’s Treasure, which brings a refreshing spin to Soulslike games.
